The End of the AI Illusion – What If Subscriptions Couldn’t Save It?

Описание: In 2026, the AI bubble bursts—not with a crash, but with a whisper:
*“No one is paying for this.”*

ChatGPT Plus loses 88% of its subscribers.
Google quietly removes “Gemini Advanced” from Android.
NVIDIA’s stock drops 60% in six weeks.

But while the flashy AI dies, another AI never stopped working:
● In hospitals, it still diagnoses tumors.
● In war zones, it still guides drones.
● In Chinese cities, it still manages traffic, power, and surveillance.

This isn’t about technology failing.
It’s about **the end of the illusion that intelligence can be sold as a subscription**.

In this episode of Divergence Point, we explore the great split:
The West abandons consumer AI—but keeps military and medical AI hidden.
China accelerates its state-run AI infrastructure—no subscriptions, no watermarks.
And the Global South chooses function over flair.

The future of AI won’t be decided by who has the best chatbot…
but by who built systems that don’t need to be sold.

This is **Divergence Point**.
